A Look At Commercial Heating in 2023

 

The US HVAC systems market size was valued at $16.54 billion in 2021 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.6% from 2022 to 2030. That’s some big bucks and complementary factors such as population growth and a growing real estate market will only serve to drive these costs to the upper end of the range. 

In the northern areas of the country, heating is the big H in HVAC and as energy costs and electricity demands continue to increase, the market for efficient heating equipment is set to grow and innovate at an even faster rate.

Heat-Timer® has its finger on the pulse of trends and initiatives in the heating industry for sure, monitoring initiatives across the country.  Initiatives like local law 97 in New York City and others will drive multi-family building owners to get their carbon footprint reduced or eliminated, or risk thousands of dollars in fines.  Here are some of the big trends we see for 2023.

Heating Equipment Efficiency Upgrades

Heating systems in multi-family buildings typically rely on boilers to deliver hot water or steam throughout the system.  Replacing these boilers can be a large expense and many of them have years of useful life left. 

Still, it’s a fact that boilers that are not ENERGY STAR certified, are 14% less efficient than those that are. Nationally that would amount to a savings of over $1 billion dollars a year and over 23 billion pounds of annual greenhouse gas emission that wouldn’t happen, equivalent to the yearly emissions of over 2 million cars. 

For building owners in this predicament, there’s always Heat-Timer® Platinum Series Controls. These internet capable controls connect to Steam or Hot water (hydronic) boilers old and new without the need for plumbing or major wiring upgrades.  Just putting an Internet capable Platinum Control with wireless space sensors in your building can save you up to 30% monthly on your heating bills and squeeze every bit of life out of that older boiler until you are ready to replace it.

Wireless Connectivity And Data

The use of the Internet of Things (IoT) and other wireless connectivity will enable HVAC software to better relay data on improving cost efficiency, sustainability, and operational readiness without a single trip to the boiler room. These solutions will allow commercial building managers to control and monitor various aspects of HVAC systems from a portable mobile device.  Again Heat-Timer® Platinum Series Controls were ahead of this curve, having provided internet and wireless remote sensor upgrades for the world’s best selling commercial heating control for years. 

Think of the Internet enabled Heat-Timer® control with wireless space sensors as a self-learning, out of the box energy management system.  It can identify areas where heating needs to be maximized and reduced, creating a more efficient way of controlling your system.  This increased monitoring and connectivity not only saves money, but allows for predictive alarm notifications, remote maintenance and improved repair times.

Use Of “Smart” Technology For Automation

Smart automation also means that systems can utilize data to analyze usage trends and performance statistics and identify errors before they happen. In addition, smart automation ensures that HVAC systems operate more efficiently, such as maintaining rooms at an optimal temperature.

Ultimately, smart automation reduces costs for commercial buildings by implementing energy-efficient consumption, reducing errors, and improving convenience and environment quality. Large establishments that experience significant activity, such as apartment complexes and buildings, will benefit from automated solutions like Heat-Timer®.

Final Thoughts On Commercial Heating Trends For 2023

As a whole, HVAC trends for 2023 are mostly centered around reducing fuel costs by increasing operational efficiency and sustainability. These are positive trends for the industry and the planet and are in line with global sustainability efforts. The introduction of IoT and more smart automation technology will also help reduce maintenance costs, increase automation and data driven improvement, while improving customer satisfaction and comfort.

At Heat-Timer® we are at the forefront of these initiatives. Providing the world’s most advanced heating control systems for both large and small buildings. (see Heat-Timer Genesis for small buildings)

How Heat-Timer® Controls Can Make Your Building Management System Better

A  Building Management System  (BMS), also called Building Automation System (BAS) is a system that allows building managers to monitor and control a building’s major mechanical and safety systems in one central, easy-to-use application. A BMS can be thought of as a distributed network of building systems supervised and controlled in one central platform. The network of field controllers and other system controllers are distributed throughout the building and communicate to the BMS through a local area network. Field controllers can be general purpose, supplied by the BMS integrator and used for simple applications like lighting control, ventilation fans and building access. With a BMS, these applications can also be separated by zone, floor or other combinations to yield optimal HVAC performance. Field controllers for mission critical systems like fire alarms and heating are specialized and can act independently, as well as under BMS control. The Heat-Timer® Platinum se...

Water Safety For all Time

Image
Because of regulations put in place after the outbreak of legionnaire’s disease in the 90’s, installation of Domestic Hot Water (DHW) systems were changed for the sake of public safety.  All DHW systems, whether storage based or tankless, must now meet the conflicting requirements of holding DHW at a minimum of 140°F (60°C) to comply with such standards as OSHA Technical Manual Section 3 Chapter 7, to combat Legionella growth, while delivering hot water at a temperature that prevents scalding injuries in sinks and other fixtures. For decades, commercial plumbing installers have embraced a 3 way mixing valve or “tempering valve” as the perfect solution to the dilemma. Early tempering valves were controlled manually with fixed setpoints, but in 2020 we have evolved to using motorized valves under the direction of a standalone electronic control station that adds flexibility, reduces energy use, provides alerts and alarms, and generally improves the safety of any domestic ...

Heat-Timer’s Wireless Sensor Integration Just got a Big Upgrade

Image
  One of the most appealing parts of the Heat-Timer® Platinum Series is the wireless sensor connectivity that comes with our Building Net internet upgrade. There are thousands of clients who own an original, non-internet capable Platinum Series control and when they upgrade the control with our Building Net internet package they actually get two major elements: An Internet/Mobile ready control – The Building Net upgrade gives any platinum control the ability to be controlled via the internet through a simple browser connection to a web management portal, or via our free mobile app. In either case, reports, alarms, control settings, and real-time monitoring are all at your fingertips, wherever those fingertips may be. Wireless Sensor Integration – You can think of this as the second network access that is enabled by the Building Net upgrade. This internal Long Range network allows you to connect our wireless space sensors to the control, which by reporting temperatures in vari...
